Unti Vineyards 2023 Vermentino: A Vibrant Expression of Dry Creek Valley

Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the sun-drenched slopes of Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County, California, this 2023 Vermentino by Unti Vineyards is a testament to meticulous winemaking. Grown across four distinct clones—planted in 2004, 2010, 2017, and 2018—this wine showcases a rare complexity rarely found in other Vermentinos. The inclusion of a Ligurian clone adds a unique minerality and structural depth, setting it apart from competitors.

Flavor Profile & Winemaking Philosophy:
The 2023 vintage benefited from an extended, cool growing season, resulting in a wine bursting with racy acidity and vibrant freshness. Unti Vineyards’ decision to forgo malo-lactic fermentation preserves the wine’s natural crispness, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a lively, food-friendly white. Expect notes of zesty citrus, green apple, and a subtle saline minerality that lingers on the palate.

Unique Selling Points:
– Three Distinct Clones: Few wineries cultivate multiple Vermentino clones, offering unparalleled complexity.
– Late Harvest: Picked between September 28–30, the latest harvest in Unti’s history, ensures optimal ripeness and balance.
– Terroir-Driven: Dry Creek Valley’s unique climate and soil impart a signature character that shines in every glass.
